2025 IEEE Annual Congress on Artificial Intelligence of Things (IEEE AIoT)

Executive Summary

At IEEE AIoT, we presented two works advancing AI-native Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) across aerial and human-centric sensing. The first introduces ROISD, which combines RIS-assisted sensing with O-RAN–enabled intelligence to enhance UAV detection through network-native control and scalable deployment. The second demonstrates an AI-assisted composite ISAC waveform for accurate mmWave respiration pattern recognition while preserving communication performance. Together, these presentations showcase a unified ISAC vision leveraging mmWave, RIS, and O-RAN for next-generation intelligent IoT systems.
